Digital Professionalism in Patient Care: A Case Based Survey of Patients.

Objective: The objective of this study was to obtain the perception of patients on the use of portable digital media devices by providers during patient care and compare the findings to a previous study that examined providers' perceptions on the use of these devices.

Design: This was a cross-sectional survey study.

Setting: This study took place at a large tertiary referral center.

Outcomes of treatment pathways in 240 patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries.

Objective: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) encompasses a diverse morphologic cohort, for which multiple treatment pathways exist. Understanding surgical outcomes among various pathways and their determinants are challenged by limited sample size and follow-up, and heterogeneity. We sought to investigate these questions with a large cohort of ccTGA patients presenting at different ages and representing the full therapeutic spectrum.

Hypoxic Stress Decreases c-Myc Protein Stability in Cardiac Progenitor Cells Inducing Quiescence and Compromising Their Proliferative and Vasculogenic Potential.

Cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) have been shown to promote cardiac regeneration and improve heart function. However, evidence suggests that their regenerative capacity may be limited in conditions of severe hypoxia. Elucidating the mechanisms involved in CPC protection against hypoxic stress is essential to maximize their cardioprotective and therapeutic potential.
